On the predictability of the positions of the convergence zones in the ocean

The disagreement between the experimental and calculated positions of the first convergence zone are known from many publications. The most probable cause for such a disagreement, namely, the incorrect specification of the input data for the calculations, is considered. The lack of simultaneity between the hydrological surveys of the region and the acoustic experiments is emphasized. The experimental data obtained by the author in five ocean regions are presented. These data characterize the diurnal variability of the distance from the source to the nearest boundary of the convergence zone. The relations proposed by different researchers for calculating the sound speed from the temperature, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure are analyzed. It is shown that these relations lead to a substantial difference in the estimated depth dependence of the hydrostatic gradient of the sound speed. The position of the first convergence zone is calculated for the propagation conditions determined by vertical temperature and salinity profiles with the subsequent recalculation of these profiles into sound speed profiles by using eight different formulas known from the literature. It is shown that different formulas lead to different values of the distance to the first zone; this difference is substantially greater than that between the calculations and experiment. The necessity of improving the recalculation relations in view of the experimental data on sound propagation in natural oceanic waveguides, including the data on the actual positions of the convergence zones, is emphasized.

On the time dependence of the dielectric dispersion for triglycine sulfate in the vicinity of the curie point

The evolution of the dielectric spectrum of triglycine sulfate with time is investigated in the frequency range from 20 MHz to 1 Hz at a temperature of 48.8°C for 420 min. It is revealed that the evolution of the dielectric spectrum exhibits a non-steady-state behavior due to the broadening of the relaxation-time spectrum. The process clearly manifests itself in a transformation of the Cole-Cole diagram with time. The transformation to a quasi-stationary state is completed in approximately 1 h. The phenomenon is explained by the retarded motion of domain walls. The inference is made that, for ferroelectrics, the time evolution of all parameters associated with the domain-wall state should be a universal property.     

Representation of the spin in the Dirac equation for the electron

The conventional interpretation of the spin matrices contained in the Dirac equation for the electron is considered to be mostly unintelligible in the operational sense. It is shown that it appears that the interpretation is often illogical. The necessity of a more comprehensible interpretation of the concerned equation is implied.

Status of the experiment on the measurement of the neutrino magnetic moment with the spectrometer GEMMA

The investigation of the background structure of the spectrometer GEMMA was carried out in a low-background laboratory in ITEP. GEMMA is destined for measurement of the neutrino magnetic moment near the core of a nuclear power plant (NPP) reactor. The results of the investigation in ITEP and measurement of the background in the experimental hall at the Kalininskaya NPP proved that GEMMA is ready for the start of the experiment at the reactor. Now the preparation of the experimental hall for the measurement is completed and an assembling of the setup is in progress.     

Evaluation of the void fraction in the crescent-shape moderator cell of the CARR-CNS

The mathematical model developed in a previous paper is improved in the present paper for analyzing and evaluating the void fraction profiles in the crescent-shape moderator cell of the Cold Neutron Source (CNS) of the China Advanced Research Reactor (CARR) which is now under construction in the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The model is then applied to the case of the CARR-CNS with liquid hydrogen as a moderator and the void fraction in the crescent-shape moderator cell of the CARR-CNS is evaluated. The calculation results show that the void fraction in the crescent-shape moderator cell less than 20%. The model and the calculation results will help to obtain insight of the mechanism that controls the void fraction distribution in the crescent-shape moderator cell, and provide theoretical supports for the moderator cell construction.

Detection of the spectra of multicharged ions with time resolution and the determination of the parameters of the hot component of the plasma in the case of the magnetic implosion of multiwire arrays

The dynamics of the hot component of the plasma of imploding multiwire arrays has been analyzed using the time behavior of the X-ray spectral lines of multicharge ions. The spectra of H- and He-like aluminum ions with nanosecond time resolution have been detected using electron-optical chronography in experiments on the implosion of multiwire arrays by mega-ampere currents. The simultaneous appearance of the resonance lines of H- and He-like ions implies that the hot plasma whose electron temperature is higher than 0.5 keV has existed on the axis before the implosion of the main mass of the liner. The further dynamics of the intensity of the lines is primarily attributed to an increase in the mass of the emitting plasma.     

Hyperfine interactions: the past, the present and the future

Five major hyperfine interaction techniques, detected by nuclear radiation, originated in the short time span between 1950 and 1965. The coincidence with the demographic expansion, especially in Europe, of university education led to the creation of many new research laboratories applying these promising techniques in solid state physics, chemistry and biology. Since the turn of century many of the early pioneers are going into retirement, leading to a decline in activities in Europe, compensated in some degree by an increase in activities outside Europe. The organisation of the 2007 HI/NQI-conference was impeccable and took place in a superb setting. Thanks to all those involved in its organization.     

Applying the stochastic parallel gradient algorithm in the auto alignment problem for the amplifier channel of the UFL-2M facility

The procedure of automatic alignment of the four-pass amplifier channel of a UFL-2M facility has been simulated numerically in the presence of aberrations in the optical path. The alignment procedure is based on the “marker” or “reference” method. The control elements are directed by the stochastic parallel gradient algorithm. The order of executing the automatic alignment is determined. The numerical simulation shows the possibility of positioning the beam at the exit from the channel with an accuracy of 1% of the pinhole size in the far field and of 0.1% of the beam aperture size in the near field. It was established that the centering accuracy of the alignment beam in inner pinholes in the presence of optical inhomogeneities in the amplifier channel can be worse than at the exit of the channel. The possibility of symmetrizing the picture of far-field markers has been considered in the case where the position of the optical axis of the channel is unknown.

Contributions of the cornea and the lens to the aberrations of the human eye

The relative contributions of optical aberrations of the cornea and the crystalline lens to the final image quality of the human eye were studied. The aberrations of the entire eye were obtained from pairs of double-pass retinal images, and the aberrations of the cornea were obtained from videokeratographic data. Third-order spherical aberration and coma were significantly larger for the cornea than for the complete eye, indicating a significant role of the lens in compensating for corneal aberrations. In a second experiment retinal images were recorded in an eye before and after we neutralized the aberrations of the cornea by having the subjects wear swimming goggles filled with saline water, providing a direct estimate of the optical performance of the crystalline lens.     

On the relaxation of the order parameter in the BCS model

The relaxation of the nonequilibrium order parameter (wave function of pairs) of a “pure” superconductor is considered for the homogeneous case. The relaxation is due to the electron-phonon interaction. The orderparameter relaxation time is shown to be much longer than the time interval between electron-electron collisions. This relation is explained by the smallness of the superconducting transition temperature compared to both the Fermi energy and the Debye energy in the BCS model.
